If you've read any of my sports reviews prior to this one, you know that I place a lot of importance on a smooth framerate when it comes to emulating the world's top athletes. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of MLB 2K10 both did a great job of improving on the sluggish framerate from last year, but I'm sad to report that the Wii version does not follow suit. The game is slow, it's ugly and it uses one of the weirdest visual effects I've seen in a long while. Yet despite these incredibly negative marks in terms of aesthetics, the Wii version manages to show some promise with respectable hitting and pitching mechanics that are sure to get better once 2K Sports can get their head around squeezing the most out of the Wii's underpowered hardware.
The Wii version of MLB 2K10 is significantly stripped down when compared to its big brothers on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. There's no MLB Today functionality, no online play, and no My Player mode. Basically all you get are Franchise, Home Run Derby, Season and Tournament modes for your investment. The Franchise mode is likely where you'll spend most of your time, even though the setup is straight out of MLB 2K games from years ago. With no online integration to update lineups or statistics things feel quite shallow, but at least baseball purists will have core features like the ability to trade and purchase Inside Edge reports to gain the upper-hand on the competition. Nothing has been enhanced in the slightest from different versions of this game (meaning trades are still confined to two teams and teams aren't aware of certain budget constraints when trading).
Once you actually get onto the field, the real trouble starts. Ironically enough, it wasn't the control of MLB 2K10 that really sent the game downhill for me – though there are issues with control as well – but instead it was the incredibly lacking game engine that's being used to deliver the baseball. I don't know how else to say it, but this game barely runs on Wii hardware. The framerate is terrible, the player models are atrocious and some parts of the field look like they could jump off the screen and cut you they're so jaggy. Oh, and that weird visual effect I was talking about before comes in the form of a type of ghosting that happens whenever there's movement on the field. Whether it's legs running down a base path or a bat swinging through the air, there's a very strange trail that follows them. It creates a very odd look to the gameplay and should've been scrapped as quickly as it was put in MLB 2K10.
It's too bad, too, because the mechanics that drive the baseball could be used to make a solid offering on Wii. Nothing is too gesture-intensive with pitching requiring a flip up to begin the power meter and a flip down to throw the pitch. The infrared sensor is used to target the pitch and the joystick is used to select pitch type. Hitting is the expected swinging motion with button modifiers for power, grounders and check swing. 2K10 would have really benefited from incorporating Wii MotionPlus in the gameplay as hitting really doesn't take more than a jolt to the Wii remote, but it seems like we'll have to wait until next year for that.
Throwing to different bases works fine with the use of the d-pad and general moves to scoop up a grounder or track a fly ball are all handled by the analog stick. My biggest issue with the control setup was with getting under a pop-up. For whatever reason guys would constantly drop simple catches because I wasn't in the proper half-centimeter on the field. It all hearkened back to the old, ultra-fidgety fielding mechanics that the series used years ago. I suppose that's further evidence that MLB 2K10 on Wii is built on aging MLB 2K framework.
The Verdict
MLB 2K10 is not a good game, but unlike most wholly unimpressive titles, this one actually has promise. The control mechanics don&#Array;t rely too heavily on cheesy motion mechanics and the few that do perform reasonably well. The real issue is the heinously old engine that makes the game chug along and couldn&#Array;t generate a smooth edge if its virtual life depended on it. Also in need of a revamp is the feature set which doesn&#Array;t have an original idea or Wii-inspired mode in the bunch. The groundwork is there for an enjoyable game of baseball, it&#Array;s just too bad that there are no parts to leverage the decent mechanics.

By now you've probably already decided whether or not to upgrade your existing iPhone operating system to the largely divisive iOS7, released approximately four weeks ago.
Perhaps some of you automatically uploaded on the day of release without question, perhaps some of you more cautious cats waited to see what the general consensus was from the early adopters before uploading.
If you were anything like me, an iPhone 4 user - the shelf-life of which was becoming quickly terminal - who read thousands of comments (ranging from histrionically aggrieved to deific praise) and decided they had nothing left to lose, so took the plunge anyway.
Although we have looked at iOS7 in terms of opportunities for enterprise organisations, we have yet to discuss the user experience of iOS7, so after a month of the new operating system being released in the wild and with the Nielsen Norman Group publishing its own user experience appraisal today, now seems the right time to do just that.
Flat design
I learnt a new term last week thanks to my learned colleagues: skeuomorphism - the practise of making something artificial appear real.
Although the practise of skeuomorphism goes back to the ornamental overkill of the 19th century, the prime modern example of this is the iPhone's yellow papered, ring bound Notes app and the rickety bookcase aping Newsstand app.
Apple has now thrown this aesthetic into their cartoonish representation of a wastepaper basket.
This turning away from 3D semi-realism, also seen in Android and Windows 8, may indeed be a fad, however Apple has embraced it with gusto. But what does this mean for the user?
From a design point of view, personally I think it's really quite beautiful. I've been interacting with the digital world for half my life now, I don't need the patronising comfort of a button on a digital screen to look exactly like a button in the real world.
The faster we consumers get used to this, the faster digital design can move forward.
However, as Nielsen point out in their appraisal, within flat design there is a tendency for buttons to disappear into the background, forming a seamless wall that can leave the user bewildered and frustrated that they can't find functions that, although do exist, are not clearly defined, especially if they don't have any previous iOS experience.
iOS7 is rather hit and miss here. Most of the apps indicate clear tappability; anything blue indicates a function that will take you away from the page (much like a blue link on a website) and red invariably means delete or change a feature.
However, as you can see in this screenshot, there are many different colours showing actionable text.
This severely impedes your ability to learn what these colours mean as there's no consistency throughout the rest of the operating system.
New icons
Nielsen suggests that changing something that people have gotten used to is a very bad thing. Apple has "demolished millions of hours of user learning" just by changing the icons.
Here you can see the difference between the iOS6 photos icon and the iOS7 one.
This is all tied into Apple's journey away from skeuomorphic design. I feel that retaining the semi-realistic icons would contrast jarringly with the flat user interface Apple has engineered throughout iOS7.
The new icons are effective; simple and clearly defined. I don't think it takes any user more than a few seconds to get used to the new icons, and frankly if you're appalled by the new design, you've probably hitched your wagon to the wrong horse.
Swipe ambiguity: home screen
Swipe ambiguity quite simply refers to the ability to swipe different parts of the screen in various directions to yield different results.
For instance, swiping upwards from bottom centre reveals a brand new Control Centre, where some general settings can be found grouped together – brightness, airplane mode, basic iTunes controls and a handy torch function that utilises the camera flash by merely leaving it on.
Swiping vertically downwards from the top of the home screen reveals the Notification Centre (calendar, weather and my iPhone's most ignored information service – stocks) as normal.
The major change though is how you get to Search iPhone. You no longer swipe to the right, now you swipe vertically down from a point slightly below the Notification Centre.
Mastering this has been a frustrating trial. Trying to search your iPhone and not accidentally opening the Notification Centre is pretty much impossible, especially with these less than nimble fingers.
Even more gallingly, swiping right on the homescreen now does absolutely nothing.
Swipe ambiguity: Safari
There are other problems with swipe ambiguity outside of the home screen, especially within Safari.
I'll start with the positives: I've been frustrated with the previous operating system's unintuitive internet browser – why can't you swipe back and forth through web-pages like you can pages on the home page? Well now you can.
Swiping to the right takes you forward a page, swiping to left takes you back.
Nielsen has pointed out however that if a webpage contains a carousel function you are more than likely to swipe straight past the carousel page and back to the previous page, such is the functionality of carousels on mobile (swiping left and right to move the carousel back and forth).
As Nielsen also ironically demonstrates, Apple itself will be the worst affected, as its homepage contains a large carousel advertising the iPhone 5, which you can very easily shoot straight past.
It's at this point that I realise the intuitiveness I was craving is in actuality quite flawed, and would be far better served by a single back button.
Another negative within Safari is the ease with which you can accidentally draw up the Control Centre from the homepage, when you actually meant to just scroll casually up a webpage.
Apparently it is possible to disable this function within settings, but I certainly wouldn't have assumed this, and it really should be an opt-in setting rather than opt-out.
I may be on my own here, but my least favourite improvement in iOS7 is the new iPhone calendar. It's a work of minimalism over function. It's so white it barely exists.
Frustratingly the swipe back and forth rules do not apply here, as they do within Safari now. You can't swipe left or right to go back and forth through the months, instead you have to scroll downwards, with no clear indication as to how you get back to the current month with a single tap.
The natural assumption is to tap the red back button on the top left, but this merely takes you to a year view. I have only just noticed, after three weeks, that there is a 'today' button at the bottom left.
Equally I've only just noticed the add an event option is a tiny, light red + in the top right.
Tapping Calendars reveals a plethora of options without any clear indication of function or how to operate them.
Do you tap the ticks? Do you tap the text? The text is black so you would assume not. There's also information buttons and a single slider button at the bottom.
It's a confusing array of widgets that seems thrown together thoughtlessly from multiple previous operating systems.
The positives
Although I've tried to give balance to the above appraisals, I do feel there is a leaning towards the negative.
I'll reiterate that the aesthetic is wonderful. iOS7 is a bold step into the future for Apple and reveals a reinvigorated vitality for its design team.
Nielsen also counters its criticisms with the following plus points:
- The hiding of browser controls in Safari gains the webpage many more useful pixels of space.
- Apps can now update in the background, and you don't have to wait for the data to refresh when you open the app.
- Settings are more streamlined.
- Unlimited files can be stored in a folder and you now have global font-size control.
The criticisms above are minor niggles. Nothing fundamentally flawed, just teething problems.
The existence of iOS7 in its current state shows a dynamic new vision for the way we interact with a digital product, and shows digital design's confidence in separating from the real world in order to exist on its own terms.

You missed the date selector facility. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s73/sh/707b75ee-8fcf-49c0-bb9a-86221a2722a5/5f084fc73a9c05a2162d2d262d464ba7
I like the 'fat finger' friendly version.
I think the designers of the windows phone OS will be justifiably annoyed that their clean, authentic design has been eclipsed by iOS7.
I think this shows just how much influence Steve Jobs had on the design and usability of the operating systems. I can see him throwing a phone at an engineer screaming "I can't use this f***ing thing. Fix it."
ios7 is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Is there any way to go back to ios6. If not we will be forced to do something we never thought possible, dumping our iPhones and moving to Samsung Android phones and a 10.1 tablet.
ios7 is Horrible. I want to go back to IOS6 or switch to an Android.
Great notes..
I must say that the Photo example is the perfect example of the 1000's of hours spent learning something. The fact is I have bloody well learned it! Worse, I cannot believe how uninterested I am in learning another new icon for something. I just DON'T CARE. I want to look at the photo's now - Since I can't remember the new icon, it now requires more steps - ie - double click and then slide to the recent usage of Photo's since that will require looking at just one row and I am sure I used it recently -
OK - what about music? How easy was it to slide right and there it was.
Now it's like "try , try Try, TRy, TRY, again to get the ridiculous control pad to come up!!
How about search? How dumb is that? Cool idea - Sure.. But try using it - maybe 3, or 4 or 5 swipes before the search come down rather than the seemingly ever present recent messages - Before one could reliably swipe right and bingo bango look up what one wanted.
Which brings me to the single search and URL box cited by all as a step forward. Sorry - What utter nonsense. Yes it works. but the page one is looking at is lost - if one is trying to spell something that is on the page - you can no longer look at it at the same time.
It's essentially as if the designers have gotten hold of the code instead of engineers and users. - Always a disaster - When I want to go to a movie - I watch it - When I want to do something I expect smart people who actually will use it for its utilitarian value to have final say so.
My sense is I have lost many seconds per use as I try to make something work that was easy before, now harder.
Where is JOBS when we really need him??
My advise is don't ever buy anything from Apple products from now on because none of their products represents reasonable value for money ... And if you must buy one, DON'T EVER UPDATE OR UPGRADE SOFTWARE such as their infamous IOS6 and now the disastrous IOS7, which is designed to fail some of the older hardware ... my family suffers two casualties so far.
Please note I say "some", not all. Why ? Because they'd have to face massive class action lawsuit if they do design something to kill all the oldies at once, theoretically speaking.
I am leaving Apple until they change their business ethics ... Bye.
I honestly don't understand why do people have so much frustration about the IOS7. Being flat is the new mantra of design..and they just followed it. See microsoft logos...see Google.. Are all those designers dumbasses? And for people who gets their butt hot regarding the new icons, learn it. Learn the new software.. learn the design. learn how to use. A change is always good and always welcome. It's just about knowing how to use your fingers. The new control pannel...the new search...everything is just fine.
I don't bother about what they have brought. I just care about the stuffs that they could have brought....like siri which doesn't need a home button long press.
I was hesitant to install the new iOS7 update simply because of how hideous everyone's screenshots looked. Replace that barf-inducing light blue / purple gradient background with a decent dark contrast background and it looks great though.
I've been a iphone user since the beginning and it took me all of one day to fall in love with 90% of the update features. Pulling down notifications instead of the search bar? Pull down from the MIDDLE of the screen instead....not that hard.
Swipe away open apps is 100x better than having to HOLD down for several seconds and then trying to tap the little X to close. I can view all my open Safari tabs now, swipe old ones away, and finally store passwords!
My complaints are so minor compared to the improvements they made. I'm still not a HUGE fan of some of the icons, but no big deal, I'll just hide the ones I hate in a folder.
Skeuomorphism was so far ahead of its time. Of course we want computers to mimick realism. Would most of our movies today be so great without computer graphics. No! What Steve Job's team created made Apple products fly above the crowd. Nobody tried to copy it because it was already perfect, why buy a knock off. Now, unfortunately you can feel free to go shopping. In fact I'm sure there are way better products that function much better than an iproduct right now. Apple's little ego's were so rushed to get something new out to everyone including their shareholders, that they forgot to make everything function. Jony Ive was quoted as saying about his new design that he was creating order to complexity. What he actually has succeeded in is creating chaos where there was simplicity. And all because he personally didn't like Skeuomorphism. More importantly I'll bet it was because he didn't like Steve Jobs and Forstall. This is what can happen when you lose the captain of your ship and the inexperienced crew takes over or as I like to say, the inmates are now running the Asylum. Stay tuned for Aapple to ruin your lovely iMacs and MacBook Pro's. Such a shame, I always loved the look of an Apple product. Now it looks like a child's toy.
IOS7 came just two weeks before my upgrade, so I dumped it for Galaxy S4. I never thought I'd do that, as I was an Apple Evangelist, but now I hate it. Maybe they'll get me back in two years, if they can sort out their OS. Ideally, just a downgrade feature would have kept me loyal. Either that, or truly separate theme from functionality - such that the IOS7 functionality improvements remain, but the layout themes can be changed.

Branched chain amino acids - usually referred to as BCAA - are a combination of amino acids which work together to protect muscle tissue, particularly when you're training hard, dieting, or between meals. They ensure you remain in a positive anabolic state to prevent the loss of muscle tissue. BCAA also keep your muscles' glycogen stores fuller for longer.

NZ's BEST BCAA SUPPLEMENT
Bulk Powders is proud to offer a selection of high quality BCAA powders online in NZ. Due to their quick absorption, they are a great supplement to take pre and post workout, although they can also act as an intra-workout fuel, particularly for sessions that are more than an hour in length. With a supply from Bulk Powders, you'll have everything you need to maximise results as part of any training regime, and support your body by kick starting recovery.
Branched chain amino acids – usually referred to as BCAA's – are a combination of amino acids which work together to protect muscle tissue, particularly when you're training hard, dieting, or between meals. They ensure you remain in a positive anabolic state to prevent the loss of muscle tissue and keep the glycogen stores in your muscles fuller for longer. By preventing the loss of muscle mass, BCAA's are vital for muscle growth and development.
There are more than 20 amino acids required to build and maintain muscle, but these are separated into two groups: essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be created by the body itself, meaning they have to be gained through diet and supplementation. BCAA powder contains a combination of three of these: leucine, isoleucine and valine.
While encouraging muscle growth and maintaining mass are two key benefits of BCAA supplements, there are a number of other suggested benefits that may be gained. These benefits are suggested to be an improvement in performance during exercise, reduction in muscle breakdown while dieting, assistance with synthesis of other amino acids.
Order your BCAA supplements from Bulk Powders NZ and ensure you get the most out of all the hard work you put in. Our in-house supplement specialists develop each and every product to the highest standard, and our ability to cut out the middle man and sell directly to you allows us to keep prices as affordable as possible.
Make the smart choice for your fitness and choose from the range of pure, high-quality products available from Bulk Powders and discover why we're a favourite of some of the hardest working athletes in NZ.

Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore. We encourage readers to tell us what they think about these outfits via our Facebook page or Twitter, and if folks want to make their own outfits, please tweet them at us with the hashtag #twiststyle. You can find all of the Style Friday posts here.
I don't know about you, but I like oysters. I didn't always- they used to kind of gross me out, actually. I recently tried them again, for the first time since I was a little kid- and actually, they were kind of awesome. I was surprised at how much I liked them. It's fitting then, that this week's Style Friday feature is Malpeque, a sweater I didn't much like the first time I glanced at it. I tend to wear my cardigans pretty short- not too far past my natural waist, over dresses with full skirts. So taking on a long, flowy cardigan for a styling post felt kind of daunting. Let's revisit the original styling from the magazine shoot.
There are certainly lots of variations on this particular outfit- a basic top, solid pants, cozy cardigan. The lattice lace is the star of the show, and you look put-together, but also like you aren't trying too hard. You could also vary the cut of the pant- wider leg slacks for work or a fancier setting, with something a little sparkly on top. I wanted to see if I could make this sweater look a little bit tough; here's what I came up with:
Maybe I own those black and white patterned leggings. Maybe they facilitated me breaking my own "leggings are not actually pants" rule because they are so awesome that I don't want to cover any more of their splendor than I absolutely have to. Maybe.
This set was my medium stage with Malpeque- like when I tried oysters with just a bit of lemon. Okay, I thought. I could eat these/wear this. But then... Then I tried them with this amazing spicy vodka sauce; then I tried them with horseradish; then, it was love. Watch me go similarly overboard in a sartorial fashion-
I literally could not make enough outfits that looked kind of like this. As long as the hem of the dress is within a few inches (above or below) the hem of the sweater, and the waist is defined somehow, all of these look really great! Toss on a cute bag and a neutral, vintage-inspired shoe; you are totally ready for one of those fall days where the sun is shining but the breeze is a bit icy.
Go forth, my friends, and try something new! Food or fashion- you never know what you might love. Of course, as always, I want to know- how would you wear your Malpeque? Also, someone please make one in red, okay?
(and as a sidenote- what do you put on your oysters??)

From the President
October 2012
National Association for Family & Community Education 2012 Annual Conference
Lynne Wince,Vice President, AlaskaFCE delegate to the Conference
This year was the National FCE 76 th Annual Conference. It was held at the Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport, Erlanger, Kentucky on July 20, 21, and 22. The theme chosen for this year was "Coming Together, Growing Together, Building Together." The State Presidents Day was held on July 19. The presidents were taken by bus to the historic Tonsen House built in 1822 in Kentucky. We enjoyed a wonderful luncheon there, and after lunch we were taken for a [Duck] ride.
The amphibious vehicle, a relic from World War II, drove right into the Ohio River. We were each given a yellow plastic duckbill and were told to quack it. We were called the quacking ducks. The Ohio River, at one time, was the river the slaves crossed on the Underground Railroad. The river was very shallow so the slaves could wade across it in the summer and walk across the ice in the winter. Today that would not be possible because it is very deep and has swift currents.

The Soulless Nether
The Soulless Nether is the newest creature in the Dark Dwellers collection.
A vacuous creature, with no understanding of love or mercy, it is one of the few figures who will step from the shadows to nab its prey.
Slow moving but relentless.
Sightless but always aware. And accurate when it strikes.
It feeds on blood, flesh and bone, but only a few bites. Rarely will it consume an entire being, being drawn more by their life force than anything else. Once that starts to fade, the Nether loses interest and simply casts away its meal.
The younger the being, the more enticing. It is likely to steal toddlers from sandboxes, or birthday girls from backyard parties while Mom is getting more punch.
No charms or potions can protect you. This Dweller of the Dark stalks us and strikes at random. Enjoy the time you have, and pray for old age.
The figure is 9 1/2" tall.

Kataeb Social Democratic Party
From Conservapedia
The Kataeb Social Democratic Party is a Lebanese Christian political party and militia. The name Phalangists (Phalange and Phalange party are variations on the same) is both a translation from Arabic and a small distortion, coming from phalanx. The correct name would have been Lebanese Kataeb Social Democratic Party.
The politics of the Phalange party was pro-Western, and they opposed any pan-Arabism.

toronto vampire bakery, help wanted, inquire within [open!]

((i really can't explain this premise except that i wanted to write about vampires, but also have an intense allergy to taking things seriously. no prior knowledge of toronto required and may even be actively discouraged))
"It's called 'Midnight Bakery'." Yun switches the phone to his other ear, retrieving the keys from his pocket. "You think so? Well, I'd rather be obvious than disingenuous." After a pause he laughs, gliding over all reproach. "Anyway, sign's already up. Nothing I can do about it."
The newly minted storefront stands between a lingerie shop and an ancient corner bistro, minimal letters on solid gray. The contractors have just finished the exterior this afternoon, but to Yun's eyes the place is already blending into the hodgepodge of the neighbourhood: bric-a-brac businesses pasted to nineteenth-century brick apartments, students teeming from every window. With another jiggle of the lock he's in. A whiff of varnish stings his nose. Somewhere down the street a bassline thumps, while the daisy-chain lights of a pub veranda flicker on. Friday night in the annex.
"You don't have to come up. I've got someone helping me on the business end-- no, no, he doesn't know. But he's reliable." Half-listening to the lecture that follows, he walks a circle round the tables that were installed last week, tracing a prospective line along the wall with the tip of his finger, and bends down to inspect the glass counter by the register, all the while navigating in perfect darkness. Sometimes he enjoys the conceit of going through the motions, doing what living people do, but more often than not he forgets to turn on the lights. "Have fun with your new fledgling. Yes, I'll be careful. Send Mina my love."
Pocketing the phone, he stands deliberating a moment before fishing it out again, swiping the screen to hang up. He often forgets that step too, on these glossy things with no buttons. For a young man born at the turn of the century, the world is a different place these days.
In May the city is beautiful for a few short weeks, the remnants of a long winter forgotten but the worst of the heat yet to come. Exams are over, summer standing poised to break. Though a wave of murders has been sweeping the city this month, their relevance stretches thin here: a few more locked doors, an extra glance over the shoulder. The victims have all been homeless. A sidebar in the papers.
More interesting are the smells developing at a corner of the student district: mousseline cream, candied almond, pain au lait. The Midnight Bakery has stood open for three weeks now, and interest is growing. Open from 9 pm to just before sunrise, the bakery offers a few choice selections each night-- authentic French pastries from the owner and patissier, who also stands at the cash register and smiles at passers-by through the window. He is a comfortable-looking man in round-rimmed glasses, east asian in a neighbourhood where it goes unquestioned, with an ageless kind of face that many say -- sometimes sneeringly -- is par for the course. Only the hair, tied back at the nape and prematurely gray, merits a second glance. He wears a spotless chef jacket with the sleeves rolled up.
Just this very moment, he is walking around the register with a placard under his arm, sidestepping the Ikea tables and chairs that make up the small seating area. He shoulders the front door open, setting off the windchimes, and heads out to prop open the placard at the entrance. 'HELP WANTED,' it says, in a large hand that might have been stencilled, for all its regularity. Stepping back, the owner examines the sign for a moment before squatting down, adding a squiggly chalk arrow underneath.
'ASK ME,' he writes, in the same neat hand, and tops it off with a little drawing of round glasses. Then with solemn satisfaction he stands and heads back inside.
The Midnight Bakery is officially hiring.

♦ A wax sealed bottle is a beautiful addition to your wine rack, but can be intimidating when it comes time to open it. This is easier than you may think! Simply plunge your corkscrew through the wax, as if it were not even there. Lift the cork slightly and wipe any wax crumbles from the opening. Pull the cork the rest of the way out and enjoy!

Sonoma County (75%); Napa Valley (20.6%); Santa Barbara County (4.4%)
Winemaker Notes
A succulent and deliciously spicy white wine loaded with aroma and flavor, made in the style of some of the world's greatest dessert wines, such as Sauternes and the "dried grape" white wines of Sicily such as "Passito di Pantelleria".
Food Pairing Notes
A great sipping wine, perfect with herbed cheeses, foie gras and sweet preparations of the Sicilian tradition. The wine should be tasted with dried fruit or almond paste to show its complex and intriguing aromas and succulent spice. It is very rich on the palate and also ideal with fresh fruit desserts.

Typically, when I drink wine it's for a special occasion. Recently, I traveled to Napa Valley to visit some family and friends and ended up wine tasting at Castello di Amorosa. Although I had the opportunity to chill with the author of Cocaine Saints and go fishing with the #1 bass fisherman in the state of California, it did not compare to my experience at Castello di Amorosa and tasting the sweet II Passito wine. Castello di Amorosa is one of those vineyards that will blow you away - the history alone is amazing. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable – I learned a lot. I would describe the II Passito wine as a king elevated to god status then bottled, corked, and wax sealed. It's a bit expensive for the size of the bottle, but the taste makes it worth it. Hands down and two thumbs up –Best Sweet Wine Ever – just ask my wife! Pair a glass with dessert, fresh fruit, or with nothing at all. Opening a bottle of Il Passito is a special occasion all on its own.

Last week, the House Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, Postal Service and the Census met to hear testimony on the following question: "Is the Office of Personnel Management Processing Federal Worker Pension Claims on Time?" Last month, I addressed the issue of the retirement backlog in a column. Dozens of people posted comments afterwards, many of them recent federal retirees who indicated OPM is indeed making progress in reducing the backlog of claims and processing retirement applications in a timely manner.
At the hearing, Ken Zawodny, associate director of OPM for retirement services, testified that this year, the processing time for the average retirement case is less than 90 days, down from 136 days in 2012.
But OPM is clearly concerned about maintaining progress in reducing that even further. This year's budget sequester has caused the agency to eliminate overtime for claims processors. At the same time, ongoing efforts to cut the postal workforce have added more retirement applications to the pile.
From January through April 2013, OPM received more than 60,000 new retirement applications -- 43 percent more than during the same period in 2012, and 44 percent more than projected. Still, the efforts of OPM employees resulted in a record number of claims being processed.
One problem that OPM faces is that certain types of applications -- particularly those involving disability claims and court orders -- take more time to process and bring down the overall average. That's because multiple parties are involved in processing them, Zawodny said at the hearing. Disability claims require a medical review process. Cases involving court orders, such as benefits that must be awarded to an employee's former spouse, must undergo legal review. OPM has hired more legal administrative specialists and paralegals to address backlog of court-order cases.
Earlier this month, I got an email from a former employee of the Federal Aviation Administration, who retired on Sept. 3, 2012, and is still waiting for the final processing of his retirement. Here's what he had to say:
I knew of the OPM backlog in processing retirement applications and receiving your full annuity. I planned for it by doing the following: 1. Submitting the maximum to my Thrift Savings Plan accounts. 2. Saving about $40,000 additional to "tide me over." 3. Planned for an eight-month wait period to receive my full annuity. My ex-wife will be receiving about 20% of my annuity by court order. I don't begrudge her this share, and did submit the court order with the prescribed formula contained therein as to how her share would be computed. To date, the only communication I have had with OPM is what I initiated. I did call OPM yesterday to ask when my retirement package would be completed. They indicated to me that because of the court order, I should plan for an additional two to three months.
I don't think my situation is all that unusual, but I do think it is somewhat ridiculous to have to save for nearly a year of transitional income. Moreover, the situation is compounded by the fact that I am only receiving 45% of what I believe will likely be my share of the retirement annuity.
Most recent retirees receive interim benefits that are much closer to their final annuity amount, but since OPM is not sure how much this employee's ex-wife is entitled to, it errs on the conservative side. This means that when the retiree's claim is finalized, if OPM determines that his ex-wife is only due 20 percent of his retirement, the government will owe him the difference. But he won't receive any interest on the back payments.
Sacrificing Quality for Speed
Another issue addressed at the hearing is whether OPM is compromising the accuracy of retirement claims processing in the name of speed -- specifically by eliminating some of the steps previously taken. In fiscal 2012, OPM finalized about 112,000 retirement claims. More than 10,000 of them required re-adjudication due to errors. This creates hardships for annuitants and their families.
That's why one of my goals is to help you understand what you are entitled to before you retire, so you'll know what to expect once your claim is finalized. The calculation of your retirement is not that hard as long as you understand the key elements used in the computation: your salary, length of service and the formula used by the retirement system you have worked under.
If you're not sure where to start, ask your agency's retirement specialist about getting an estimate of your benefit. If you don't know who that person is, here's a list of retirement specialists at various agencies.

FERRISBURGH — A rare joint meeting on Tuesday of the Ferrisburgh selectboard and Ferrisburgh Central School board produced agreements to continue exploring a possible purchase of land that abuts both town and school property, and to evaluate whether balloting should be held in the town office building rather than at the school.

FERRISBURGH — Residents of Addison County's third-largest town will have a choice on Town Meeting Day that could unseat a 12-year veteran of its selectboard.
Ferrisburgh selectboard chairwoman Loretta Lawrence is in Ferrisburgh's only contested race: She is facing a challenge from Arabella Holzapfel, whose most recent appearance in the public eye came in 2012 as a losing candidate for the district of the Vermont House that includes Ferrisburgh, Addison, Panton, Vergennes and Waltham.
FERRISBURGH — Recommendations for improvements intended to make it safer for children near Ferrisburgh Central School to walk to school earned mixed reviews from the Ferrisburgh selectboard on Tuesday.
Most selectboard members said they liked at least some of the proposals in a report developed by a town Safe Route to Schools (SRTS) committee with help from the Vermont Agency of Transportation's SRTS Resource Center.
FERRISBURGH — While the Ferrisburgh selectboard on June 5 considered how to put in place a complex residential energy-efficiency program narrowly backed in March by town residents, the town's energy committee chairman said a few homeowners are already interested in signing on.
At town meeting, residents voted, 50-49, that Ferrisburgh should become a Property-Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) district.
FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard at its Tuesday meeting agreed to use equipment borrowed from Shelburne to measure the speed and amount of traffic coming through the North Ferrisburgh village along Old Hollow Road.
The board took that action in response to a petition filed by Old Hollow Road resident Nick Patch and signed by about 90 residents of the area; he said "the vast majority" of the village population wanted something done.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen on Tuesday approved a roughly $1.619 million town budget for fiscal year 2013, but on Town Meeting Day Ferrisburgh voters will have the option of adding up to $79,000 to that bottom line.
The selectboard's spending proposal does not include about $29,000 of charitable donations that Ferrisburgh residents typically back in March, plus two articles that would create capital funds: $30,000 for the town's fire department and $30,000 for the public works department.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen and the contracted buyer of town-owned land earlier this month reached an agreement to extend for three months a key purchase contingency of the $375,000 contract.
The original terms of the Aug. 1 deal between the town and Montpelier's Eastern Development Corp. for a 34.9-acre parcel at the junction of Routes 7 and 22A gave the buyer until Nov. 15 — this past Tuesday — to market its still-undisclosed plans for the property after the sale.

You can't split an individual cell, but you can make it appear as if a cell has been split by merging the cells above it. For example, you want to split cell A2 into three cells that will appear, side-by-side, under cell A1 (you want to use cell A1 as a heading). It is not possible to split cell A2, but you can achieve a similar effect by merging cells A1, B1, and C1 into one, single cell. You then enter your data in cells A2, B2, and C2. These three cells appear as if they are split under one larger cell (A1) that acts as a heading. Watch this quick video to see how it's done.
When you merge two or more adjacent horizontal or vertical cells, the cells become one larger cell that is displayed across multiple columns or rows. In the following example, using the Merge & Center command centers the text in the merged cell.
Important: When you merge multiple cells, the contents of only one cell (the upper-left cell for left-to-right languages, or the upper-right cell for right-to-left languages) appear in the merged cell. The contents of the other cells that you merge are deleted.
After merging cells, you can split a merged cell into separate cells again. If you don't remember where you have merged cells, you can use the Find command to quickly locate merged cells.
Note: You cannot split an unmerged cell. If you are looking for information about how to split the contents of an unmerged cell across multiple cells, see Distribute the contents of a cell into adjacent columns.
Merge cells
Merging combines two or more cells to create a new, larger cell. This is a great way to create a label that spans several columns. For example, here cells A1, B1, and C1 were merged to create the label "Monthly Sales" to describe the information in rows 2 through 7.
Select two or more adjacent cells you want to merge.
Important: Make sure the data you want to end up in the merged cell is in the upper-left cell. All data in the other merged cells will be deleted. To keep any data from the other cells, copy it to another spot in the worksheet before you merge.
Click Home > Merge & Center.
If Merge and Center is dimmed, make sure you're not editing a cell and the cells you want to merge aren't inside a table.
Tip: To merge cells without centering, click the arrow next to Merge & Center, and then click Merge Across or Merge Cells.
If you change your mind, you can always split the cells you merged.
Split merged cells
To unmerge cells immediately after merging them, press Ctrl +Z. Otherwise, click Merge and Center to split merged cells.
Select the merged cell you want to unmerge.
Tip: Use the Find command to find all of the merged cells in your worksheet.
Click Home > Merge and Center.
Tip: You can also click the arrow next to Merge and Center, and then click Unmerge Cells.
Whatever is in the merged cell moves to the upper-left cell when the merged cell separates.
Merge adjacent cells
Select two or more adjacent cells that you want to merge.
Note: Make sure that the data that you want to display in the merged cell is contained in the upper-left cell of the selected range. Only the data in the upper-left cell will remain in the merged cell. Data in all the other cells of the selected range will be deleted. Copy any other data you need to another location on the worksheet before merging.
On the Home tab, in the Alignment group, click Merge and Center.
The cells will be merged in a row or column, and the cell contents will be centered in the merged cell. To merge cells without centering, click the arrow next to Merge and Center, and then click Merge Across or Merge Cells.
Note: If the Merge and Center button is unavailable, the selected cells might be in Edit mode, or the cells might be inside an Excel table. To cancel Edit mode, press ENTER. You cannot merge cells that are inside an Excel table.
To change the text alignment in the merged cell, select the cell, and then click any of the alignment buttons in the Alignment group on the Home tab.
Formula references in other cells are adjusted automatically to use the cell reference of the merged cell.
Because sorting requires that all cells to be sorted are using the same size, you cannot sort a range that contains a combination of merged and unmerged cells.
Split a merged cell
To split a merged cell, you must select it first.
Select the merged cell that you want to unmerge.
When you select a merged cell, the Merge and Center button also appears selected in the Alignment group on the Home tab.
To split the merged cell, click Merge and Center , or click the arrow next to Merge and Center, and then click Unmerge Cells.
Tip: Immediately after merging cells, you can also unmerge them by clicking Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar, or by pressing CTRL+Z.
The contents of the merged cell will appear in the upper-left cell of the range of split cells.
Find merged cells
On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Find & Select.
Click Find.
On the Find tab, click Options, and then click Format.
Note: If you don't see the Format button, click Options.
On the Alignment tab, under Text control, select the Merge cells check box, and then click OK.
Do one of the following:
To find the next occurrence of a merged cell, click Find Next.
Excel selects the next merged cell on the worksheet.
To find all merged cells, click Find All.
Excel displays a list of all merged cells in the bottom section of the Find and Replace dialog box. When you select a merged cell in this list, Excel selects that merged cell on the worksheet.

Officials in particular will re-examine the allegations by Christopher Dorner, 33, that his law enforcement career was undone by racist colleagues, Police Chief Charlie Beck said. While he promised to hear out Dorner if he surrenders, Beck stressed that he was ordering a review of his 2007 case because he takes the allegation of racism in his department seriously.
"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police department is transparent and fair in all the things we do," the chief said in a statement.
Authorities suspect Dorner in a series of attacks in Southern California over the past week that left three people dead, including a police officer. Authorities say he has vowed revenge against several former LAPD colleagues whom he blames for ending his career. The killings and threats that Dorner allegedly made in an online rant have led police to provide protection to 50 families, Beck said.
A captain who was named a target in the manifesto posted on Facebook told the Orange County Register he has not stepped outside his house since he learned of the threat, and he was taking it seriously.
"From what I've seen of (Dorner's) actions, he feels he can make allegations for injustice and justify killing people and that's not reasonable," said Capt. Phil Tingirides, who chaired a board that stripped Dorner of his badge. "The end never justifies the means."
Saturday was the third full day of a massive multi-agency hunt for Dorner in the San Bernardino mountains, about 80 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, where Dorner's burned-out pickup truck was discovered Thursday. A scaled-back search party took advantage of a break from stormy weather to search for Dorner using heat-sensing helicopters as vacationing families and weekend skiers frolicked nearby.
A law enforcement officer told the Associated Press authorities found weapons in the truck. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Investigators have been examining the truck to determine if it broke down or was set ablaze as a diversion. Police say the truck had a broken axle. Investigators are trying to determine whether it was already broken when they found it, or whether it was damaged when it was towed away.
On Friday night, authorities served a search warrant and collected evidence from a Buena Park storage unit as part of their investigation. Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen wouldn't elaborate on the nature of the evidence or say who had rented the unit.
Earlier Friday, another warrant was served at a La Palma house belonging to Dorner's mother. Officers collected 10 bags of evidence, including five electronic items.
In his online manifesto, Dorner vowed to use "every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training I've been given" to bring "warfare" to the LAPD and its families.
Dorner served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. He took leave from the LAPD for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.
Last Friday was his last day with the Navy and also the day CNN's Anderson Cooper received a package that contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied." A coin riddled with bullet holes that former Chief William Bratton gave out as a souvenir was also in the package.
Police said it was a sign of planning by Dorner before the killing began.
On Sunday, police say Dorner shot and killed a couple in a parking garage at their condominium in Irvine. The woman was the daughter of a retired police captain who had represented Dorner in the disciplinary proceedings that led to his firing.
Dorner wrote in his manifesto that he believed the retired captain had represented the interests of the department over his.
Hours after authorities identified Dorner as a suspect in the double murder, police believe Dorner shot and grazed an LAPD officer in Corona and then used a rifle to ambush two Riverside police officers early Thursday, killing one and seriously wounding the other.
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Christopher Weber, Greg Risling, Haven Daley, Michael Blood, John Antczak, Mark Evans and Julie Watson.

Reflections on the Bilgi ELT 2012 Conference
Reflections on the Bilgi ELT 2012 Conference
by Adam J. Simpsons
The Bilgi University ELT conference took place on May 12th, 2012 and revolved around the theme of ?Using Resources Efficiently?. Sabancı University?s School of Languages was well represented at the event, featuring a plenary talk, a keynote speech and a concurrent session from members of the SL.
The opening plenary of the conference was delivered by Michael McCarthy (via video) and Geraldine Mark. In ?Working with learner grammar data: getting our hands on the corpus? the speakers focused their talk on writing and speaking corpora gathered from L2 learners. Corpora are large and structured sets of texts from a target group, in this particular case, L2 learners. After analysis of the corpora, the speakers determined that as a learner?s lexicon increases, so does the variety of grammar problems. Countable nouns were given as an example of this phenomenon. The main message was to rethink when and where we teach grammar. Even at B2 and C1 levels review of grammar taught at lower levels needs to be revisited. In the second half of the talk they discussed how the corpora revealed an input-output lag in conversation fluency. They focused on the importance of conversation markers that reveal a speaker is following the thread of conversation. Three areas were discussed: 1) Markers: well, right, ok, etc., 2) Response Tokens: great, sure, etc., and 3) Small Words: why not? etc.
The speakers concluded their talk by summarizing the need for Corpora:
1. They enable us to see how language is used
2. They reveal correct usage and persistence of error
3. Benchmarking against exams
4. Higher motivation for students
The speakers rounded off by suggested visiting the website www.englishprofile.org for more information.
Dr. Deniz Kurtoğlu Eken from the School of Languages delivered the second plenary talk, titled ?I-sources as my Re-sources.? The effectiveness of our teaching practices and other professional work surely depends on a wide range of factors, indicated Dr. Eken, the most essential being our own motivation. We know that our well-being matters; that our happiness affects all aspects of our lives; and that our motivation and inner peace is a prerequisite for greater effectiveness in our professional work. We try so hard to do our jobs in the best way possible; we strive to support our students and others in their development; we listen to them; we try and empathize with them; we give them good care and attention. This, we also need to be able to do ? and even more importantly ? for and with ourselves. In her presentation, Dr. Deniz Kurtoğlu Eken focused on teacher motivation as well as teachers? views and perceptions of it. She shared some interesting data to create an impression about the issue of motivation in ELT in Turkey, pointing out the necessity for self-motivation and inner peace as a teacher, things which are neglected most of the time. She questioned how much of teachers? own sources are neglected in these days of technology and the multitude of other resources.
Jim Scrivener delivered the closing plenary talk, which was ?A Manifesto: for Active Interventionist Teaching.?
? Are we really as effective at teaching as we imagine we are?
? We say that we are ?communicative? but, do we, in practice, do ?whatever?s in the coursebook??
? Is our methodology really rather hit and miss?
? Does much contemporary teaching (fluency tasks, communicative focus, fear of being ?teacher-centred?) actually sidestep the real teaching work and the real needs of learners?
? And is it possible that the majority of teachers who have been trained in the last twenty or so years have become so used to delegating the teaching work to ?good enough? books that they have lost many of the teaching techniques that previous generations took for granted?
These were the questions Scrivener posed in his talk, which proposed a muscular reinvigoration of teaching: focused, active, alert and getting much closer to where the learning is. Scrivener suggested that there is a particular type of teaching skill that has been lost more than others. This is the skill of getting in close to where the learning is going on ? for example, looking closely at language and materials, helping learners to zoom in on language items in order to recognise them, understand them, say them better and use them well. He proposed that this kind of exploratory, reflective, quantum-level, analytical, language and learning-focused teaching is essential and its absence in so many classrooms is becoming a serious problem.
Zeynep Ürkün?s keynote speech was titled ?Resources for ELT Assessment: where are they?? As teachers of ELT/ESL, we receive training on almost everything: tried and tested teaching methodology, action research, pedagogy, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, materials design, you-name-it-we-get-trained-on-it! However, there are still very few opportunities available for those who would like to improve the way they assess their learners, in spite of the fact that assessment is as natural a part of the teaching process as any of the above-mentioned courses we are often required to take. Similarly, in stark contrast to the availability of an ?immense variety of teaching resources that could be applicable in our classes?, the resources for ELT testing and assessment can only be described as ?scarce?. This leaves very little room for those ELT teachers who would like to specialize in the area of testing and assessment. Ürkün?s session provided several examples of readily-available resources for testing and assessment and showed examples of some online resources, as well.
Professor Birsen Tütüniş?s Keynote Speech was titled ?Learner Enabling Resources.? Learner enabling resources, Professor Tütüniş stated, move the learners and teachers from traditional learning and teaching models to a model in which the learner develops their metacognitive learning skills with the help of the teacher as a facilitator, and as a provider of resources that make teaching and learning more efficient. Her paper presented pre-service and in-service training on how to make use of resources effectively to achieve this goal.
Kristina Smith?s Keynote Speech was titled ?Teaching and training online: discover what it?s like to be an e-moderator.? Online education using Virtual Learning Environments like Moodle, Blackboard, AdobeConnect, etc. is becoming more and more common, which opens up the possibility of studying courses hosted in other countries without leaving home oneself. Also, the possibility of teaching online, of being an e-moderator, is becoming a more common job. Sometimes faculty members teach face-to-face in one country while teaching students online at an institution in another country. Even if you haven?t tried it yet, Smith suggested, you may find yourself involved in e-learning either as a student or a teacher in years to come. What is it like to be a student online and to be an e-moderator? In this workshop, using guided visualization real examples from professional development courses and mini problem-solving tasks participants were given a chance to discover more about the cognitive and affective sides of e-learning through following a ?typical? course cycle. She paid particular attention to the skills and multiple roles of the e-moderator and compare them with face-to-face teaching.
Gordon Lewis?s Keynote Speech was ?Social Learning and Communities of Practice- in search of a definition.? In today?s world of education, noted Lewis, the terms social learning and communities of practice are often used interchangeably. But are the two concepts really the same? While both share common principles and tools, the goals and structure of each are different- with social learning focusing more on the individual and communities of practice, as the name suggests, more concerned with shared knowledge tied to a common goal. In this talk Lewis sought to define both concepts clearly, providing examples of each. He then considered what kind of community we might consider building in our context and how we can assess its success or failure.
Eric Baber?s Keynote workshop was titled ?The mobile phone: a teacher?s friend or a teacher?s enemy?? When we were kids, Baber noted, we used to pass messages to each other under the desk on slips of paper. Learners nowadays still pass messages to each other under the desk, but the means of communication have changed from slips of paper to SMS messages, IM and e-mail, all done via their mobile phones. So are mobile phones the enemy of the teacher? In this session he argued that this isn?t the case. Instead of forbidding students from using their mobile phones in the classroom, Baber suggested we should encourage them to use their devices for meaningful activities. In this talk he demonstrated some mobile apps and mobile-optimized online content which was either specifically designed for learners of English or which can be exploited for learning and teaching. He also looked at activities a teacher can set students both in the classroom and as homework to ensure students use their mobile phones for more than just arranging their next night out and ?whispering? behind the teacher?s back!
Sabancı University?s School of Languages was also represented among the numerous concurrent sessions on offer. Adam Simpson?s paper presentation was titled ?Group Work: A New Factor to Consider?? When we do group work in class, Adam noted, it isn?t always successful. Is this due to the task, the students, or is it perhaps connected to ineffective group formation? Simpson?s presentation examined the literature behind group formation and group tasks and compared this with the findings of classroom-based action research.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FamosWinemaker from Hands Down the Best Pruner Around I manage wine grape vineyards and over the years have worked with most all major pruner brands. Without a doubt, the PP80 is the best pruner I've laid my hands on to date. It fits my large hands comfortably, and cuts through canes and suckers like butter... vine after vine, after vine. The quick-release blade lock puts a smile on my face every time I used it. I can't think of anything I would change on this pruner. Definitely worth the extra cost.
Date published: 2016-06-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stihlguy88 from this is the best choice This is one fine tool and the extra long handles work real good with large hands as well as small hands...even my wife likes to use these and the precise cutting with ease and small amount of pressure is unreal. These are the best pair to buy as trimming and just touching up here and there on my plants is so easy and fun ...always use Stihl penetrating oil to clean them after each use and store it in the original plastic case they come in for years and years of zero issue use ! Just go buy a pair and soon you will realize you have bought the best $ can buy! Thanks STIHL!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I hope the moderators for this board see the messages from userbans_l565 and removes this posters messages but if not please be warned...
Do not send an email to the address in the posting....likely this is a scammer or an accomplice to the scammers who will just be looking to scam you again...usually this is referred to as a "recovery scam" don't fall for it.
Look for the email address mentioned in userbans message in this website which supports my claim. See John's response to this posters comments.
Hopefully once you realize you have been scammed you stop communicating with the scammer and all parties associated with him/her. Your money cannot be recovered and you will never really find out who the person is behind the scam.
Learn and move on. If you are looking for online dating sites for relationships try to stick to your own area and make plans to meet in a public place. If the person is unable to meet and makes excuses to be going overseas especially to Africa or in particular Ghana you know you are communicating with a scammer. Stop all communication and move on.

What Does the Data Tell Us? Describing Data
Lesson 2 of 23
Objective: The students will be able to understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
Big Idea: Understanding how to interpet data by its shape, spread, and center helps students to understand statistics.
The beginning part of the lesson reviews the concept of mean, median mode and range. It's a fun scenario about a town called Whateverville. The students will be investigating the temperatures of the town to find the mean, median, mode and range. They will also be looking at the affects of outliers on the mean. (see shape of distribution power point, slide 2)
Resources (1)
Describing Data Attributes
The bulk of the lesson begins with the vocabulary. It will be very important to discuss each vocabulary word and make sense of what it is saying. It may be helpful to draw a sketch of what each word means. There is a website I used to assist me in making the vocabulary meaningful. They have great graphics too. After working through the vocabulary, I like to have students work in pairs to go over the vocab. For example, one student can describe the definition in as many ways as they can. They may not use the definition in front of them. They may use gestures. Their partner must guess the word they are describing. The partners will switch turns. To make this more challenging, you could set a timer (similar to catchphrase)
Once the vocabulary has been defined, the next slides show graphs. This will allow the students to apply the vocabulary word to a visual representation. I've used several different data sets and representations so the students can apply their knowledge to more than one graph.
After students have had the direct/guided instruction, they can do a short activity called Find someone who.(I chose this activity because it allows students a movement break after sitting for so long and it only allows them to work with one other person at a time which should allow for some in depth conversation.. Additionally, the students can have the advantage of working with a partner if they are still struggling with the concept) When students answer questions on someone else's paper, remind them they will need to use mathematical terms to explain their answers (SMP 6)
Find someone who.
- Students will find a partner and exchange papers.
- Each partner will solve a problem on the other person's paper.
- Once both partners are done finding the center, spread, and shape of the data they will explain what they found to their partner. Upon agreement of their findings, they initial their work and find another partner.
- The process then starts all over again
Resources (5)
Before giving students the exit slip, have the following discussion with them by using the lesson objective.
- In your own words, describe a data sets "center".?
- In your own words, describe the "shape": of a data set?
- In your own words, describe the "spread" of a data set?
Although there are only 3 questions to wrap up the learning, the questions can be broken down in to more specifics to allow more students to participate. For example, you could ask what a wide spread data means or a small data spread means. You could talk about skewness and more specifically left skewed or right skewed. How will you determine the center of a data set? If you wanted more students involved you could allow them to partner share their responses before moving to whole group discussion. Just remind students to apply the ELA speaking and listening standard while working in pairs.
Allow students time to work on one problem on their own. Collect this to assess student understanding.
